The post-COVID-19 era has introduced novel cases of psychiatric complications that are either organic or purely psychological in nature due to social isolation. This report details a case of new-onset obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and schizophrenia following the COVID-19 pandemic. The novelty of this case lies in the onset of the patient's symptoms in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, without prior predisposing risks in the environmental, social, or biological aspects. We provided therapeutic treatment to the patient in an inpatient setting, while examining the patient to decipher the root cause of his symptoms. While there is substantial data suggesting exacerbations of OCD during the COVID-19 pandemic in the general population and a new onset of schizophrenia due to the virus itself, very little is known about the prevalence of either OCD or schizophrenia after the pandemic. With this in mind, we hope to provide more information regarding new-onset psychosis and OCD within the adolescent population. A considerable amount of studies and data are needed in this subset of the population.
新冠疫情后的时代出现了一些新型精神并发症病例,这些病例要么是器质性的,要么是由于社会隔离而纯粹是心理性的。本报告详细介绍了一例新冠疫情后新发强迫症(OCD)和精神分裂症的病例。该病例的新颖之处在于患者症状在新冠疫情背景下出现,在环境、社会或生物学方面没有先前的诱发风险。我们在住院环境中为患者提供了治疗,同时对患者进行检查以查明其症状的根源。虽然有大量数据表明,在新冠疫情期间普通人群中强迫症病情加重,且因病毒本身出现了新发精神分裂症,但对于疫情后强迫症或精神分裂症的患病率知之甚少。考虑到这一点,我们希望提供更多关于青少年人群中新发精神病和强迫症的信息。在这一人群子集方面需要大量的研究和数据。
